Default New MPC Rockets?

Does anyone have any information about some new RTF/E2X rocket models being produced by MPC?

Here's a listing on the Tower Hobbies website:

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bi...ARCH=mpc+rocket

There are no details other then there are six models featuring KISS and Star Trek themes.

Looks like a company called Round 2 Models has obtained rights to MPC products. Check out the website here . They are carrying AMT, Polar Lights, and MPC products. Maybe they can be talked into the Stine designed rockets?? Wouldn't that be cool!

Quest has all the old MPC molds.

These 'new' MPC rockets are also listed on the Hobbylinc website.

Kiss and Star Trek rockets. At least they picked albums from the prime years of Kiss: Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over, both released in 1976, and Love Gun in 1977.

I'm a-thinkin' this stuff will be junk that nobody wants other than to add to one's collection to say they have it.

My brother in law had a Kiss Army rocket, possibly an LOC Cyclotron. He painted it in a red/orage/yellow fade and put a vintage Kiss Army decal on it. He flew it and when it landed it got run over by a truck. Cool rocket, though.
